I also think the alliance should push the forsaken out of Lordaeron. Why? A kingdom with hundreds/thousands of years of history beats a bunch of living dead any day. There's also the fact that the Alliance's inability to retake Lordaeron makes it look weak.

The Alliance should Lordaeron back and push the Undead to EPL. The Forsaken could then take Stratholme or settle somewhere else. Northrend, perhaps?

But whatever Blizzard decide to do with Lordaeron, it's not practical to change things now, so nothing is going to happen until WoW comes to an end.

Who knows, maybe Calia was killed during the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron and was recently raised as an undead.

Exactly, in fact, that would be the more logical ,easiest and faster solution. But we must also recognize that it would be the more boring solution.

If Calia had died and was revived, perhaps would make sense as the new Queen of the Forsaken after the fall of Sylvanas. However that would affect only the Forsaken and their relations with the Horde, but would leave out of the action to the Alliance (which would not recognize the legitimacy of a living corpse).

Now if Calia had survived and was alive somewhere then that would involve the Alliance in history. I believe that this is the most interesting and best option for the game since a narrative point of view (although I'm not objective because I am a member of the Alliance).

The question is: does the Forsaken player base would be satisfied if Calia replaces to the problematic Sylvanas as leader of the Forsaken?

if I remember Stratholme was captured by the Argent Crusade and Northrend is territorial lich king

Assuming that's the majoritarian decision... the Forsaken would have some respect for Calia? or they only owe allegiance to the Dark Lady?

the forsaken are not one single hive mind. they are a bunch of different people. you have some crazy ones like stillwater and putress, some decent ones like the guy that decided to leave the ghosts in hillsbrad alone because they are similar to the forsaken and deserve to keep their land (I forgot his name and I don't have time to look it up, I gotta go out in a few moments).

anyway: it's likely that part of the forsaken would reject calia because of her being arthas' sister, while another part of them would accept calia because she's the heir to the throne and terenas' daughter. terenas is still venered by the forsaken. on top of the undercity there's a memorial to him:

Here lies King Terenas Menethil II -- Last True King of Lordaeron.

Great were his deeds -- long was his reign -- unthinkable was his death.

"May the Father lie blameless for the deeds of the son.
May the bloodied crown stay lost and forgotten."

That I meant, the Forsaken will be divided into two groups: those loyal to Sylvanas and those faithful to Calia, as the orcs have been divided now because Garrosh.

At the end Sylvanas will become an insurmountable danger and therefore the rest of the Horde along with the Alliance will destroy her. So Calia remain as the legitimate Queen of the Forsaken survivors.

So was Arthas, that didn't stop them from turning on him. It's not like Calia did all that much before Lordaeron's fall to garner strong loyalty anyway. And since its fall, Calia has done nothing for the Forsaken during the past 8+ years. If she is still alive, the Forsaken have no reason to abandon Sylvanas who freed them and protected them during that time.

We are supposing that she is dead, concretely undead.

Although she has not done anything for them (yet) she is the legitimate heir to the throne, I guess some Forsaken will remain loyal to the crown ...

Why? Push the Forsaken out; re-establish the fortifications that were there of old, bring Quel'thalas back into the fold and Alliance banners could once again wave over all the lands from Silvermoon to the tip of Stranglethorn!

Besides, all the lands of Eastern Kingdoms belonged to man, dwarf and elf (all right, all right, and gnome) before that whole business with the Dark Portal.

I forgot to mention that the Forsaken have hell to pay for what they did to Southshore, Gilneas and Andorhal.

So basically, you're an Alliance fanboy with no real concept of how Militarily impossible that would be right?

Let us weigh them against each other yes?

Sylvanas - Save them from the scourge, freed them and formed them into a nation and found a way for them to not die out as a people.

Calia - she's the stupid daughter of the king, who might be a forsaken now I guess.

there is no reason to try to take it unless there is something beneath tirisfal that has a ginormous benefit to the alliance and it is a matter of "get it all costs or die trying" . Aside from that from a military perspective, throwing soldiers to the undead = more undead armies to fight back at them. it is like trying to fight fire by throwing paper at it.
